News reached here last Sunday of a
shooting affray that took place before
the Catholic Church of Loreauville, Just
at the beginning of the high mass. Paul
Hebert ard Philippe Fournet had a
Misunderstanding, when Fournet sought
redress by cOwhiding his adversary, both
parties began firing and Fournet was
slightly wounded in the right arm.
An exchange truthfully says: Some
people seem to think that the Editor of a
country newspaper ought to be sort
of clown, give open air performances in
the streets, tell long yarns, say smart
things, laugh at all he hears, and be a
sort Of center figure every where he goes.
In other words he must be regular boot
ticker, think just like you do, not sane
ton to all you say, beg every one he
meets to take his little paper, play the
hypocrite in thousand ways and live on
wind.

Water Route Improvement.

Will some Of our public spirited busi-
ness men take the initiative in organi-
ziAGand forming an Association, and
help gathering statistics and informa-
tions that will demonstrate the immense
advantages that would accrue to this
section by the opening of Bayou Plaque
mine. and secure to the people of the
rich Teche regions short and perma-
nent water route to New Orleans and
other markets. Everything looks favo-
rably to the opening of that stream, and
this is the very moment for the people
of this section to take immediate action
in this matter, and we again suggest the
organization of en- Association in order
to open correspondence with other si-
milar associations which interests are
identical to ours, and exchange ideas
and views, and present to our Represeu-
tatives in Congress the most striking
points, accompanied by Major Heuer's
favorable report to that effect, and sue
cess is bound to be the result of their la
Dor.

Bulldozing in Avoyelles.

Last Sunday morning the Messrs Kahn

Then follows two A calibre cartridges,
neatly strapped to the card board on
which the notice is written, with the

MIR. Editor.
As politics is beginning to boil slowly,
l think it would be proper for the citi-
zens to express their views, and discuss
the matter as to whom would be the
most available candidates at the coming
election. Therefore suggest the name
of Hon. w. B. Eastin as the favOrite and
the choice of large number of our best
citizens as the most available candidate
for Clerk of Court of this parish. He
has all the qualifications necessary, and
will control the votes of both parties.

OPEN LETTER.
AToHAFALAYA AND PLAQUEMINE IMPROVEMENT
ASSOCIATION.

Morgan City, La, April 1887
To the Hon. U. 8. Senators and Members Of
Congress from the State of Louisiana
GENTLKMEN-The undersigned have been cho-
sen by this association as committee to address
an open lister to you setting forth the object OF
said association and craving your assistance
therein.
The opening Of Bayou Plaquemine, cutting
through the reefs or bars at the mouth Of Atcha-
falays Bay, would give the shortest water route
from Central America and Mexico to the Missis-
sippi river its tributaries, and to all the great
cities of the west. A mere glance at the map
hereto attached shows this.
Berwick Bay Is admitted to be the finest natu-
raj Harbor on the Gulf coast from Pensacola TO
the Mexican line, and this long coast has been
the least favored by Congressional appropria-
tions. The reefs between the mouth Of Berwick
Bay and deep gulf water were dredged to over
ten feet by private enterprise some years ago and
though not touched for over twelve years back
the channel retain its depth. II private enter
prise could do this Congress could easily afford
to make an appropriation to give twenty five feet
depth.
As an official of Louisiana you cannot fail to
see the immense benefit to South western Loui-
siana, were bayou PlaQuemine opened. say by
locks, thereby giving to that section water
competitive route to New Orleans. In further
support of this view we respectfully call your at
tention to the late report of Major Heuer. of the
q. 8. Engineer corps.
This question is vital to our interest. The
Grand Juries of the District have recommended
it; the Sugar Planters Association endorse It,
and numerously signed petition has been sent
on to the U. 8. Coast Survey requesting one of
the coast survey boats now in service in these
waters. to make the survey and soundings and
report the probable cost OF a channel thirty feet
deep.
We earnestly request your strongest endeavors
and assistance in this great and necessary work,
and should you need a petition signed by thou
sands to be presented to the next Congress, we
can easily send 1t to you.
Respectfully.

President Cleveland has written
a letter Withdrawing his acceptance
of an invitation Of the citizens OF
St. Louis to visit that city during
the encampment of the G. A. r
because of the angry furry that has
been made over it by a few rabid
fools. The letter is dispassionate,
manly statement Of the reasons
that impel him to withdraw the &C
ceptance and is in striking contrast
to the furious TRADES of tie
men who have gotten brave since
the war. He says he cares not fol
the danger to himself personally nor
for the insults that it is alleged
would be heaped upon him, but he
represents the highest office in the
land and be cannot permit it to
suffer such indignities. The G. A.
r. has made a mess of it. 1t ought
to draw straws for who shall play

legitimate end the senseless and
villainous war it has begun upon
the president to force him to let

NOn Tuesday bill was filed sin

j. Duncan, VIM. Green, E. I. c.
Haywood, D. t. Reynolds, and C.
Il. Witt, against Misses Hood and
Heron the board of trustees of Mar
tin College and the board of stew
ards and TRUSTEES of the Method
ist church. The allegations of the
bill develop no new facts. 1t as
serts that the $4,000 bonds were
left by Mr. Martin to the board of
stewards, that the quarterly con-
ference stands above the board of
stewards and is the only compe-
tent authority to take and hold the
property, that the charter and orig
NAL organization of the college
were irregular because the presid-
ing elder did not call aud preside
over the meeting Of stewards that
| accepted the trust, and that conse-
quently the trust has been misused
/ and it is now being perverted in
that the college has been leased for
a. term to persons not Methodists. II
prays to have the charter annulled,
the lease revoked and the right OF
the church to own and control de.
clared by the court. No injunction
is issued and the operations Of the
school will not be interfered with
The bill is signed by Z. H. East and
Fleming & Son, solicitors, and the
bond for cost is signed by T. M. N
Jones.
| Many subscribers TO the $4,000
fund taken by DR.. Rivers to Mar
| tin College have already employed
counsel and will file cross bills ask
ing to have their money refunded
| in the event the court DEGREES the
property to the church, on the
ground that it was represented tt
Them and they subscribed under The
assurance that the school was to bt
undenominatlonal. 1t is also un
derstood that Gov. Brown will file
his cross bill asking the sale to be
declared void by which he conveyed
the present buildings and grounds
to the college. If the court holds
that the board of trustees were lille
gally constituted and that thel
acts are Fvoid, then.they are in
capable of holding the title and i
necessarily returns to the vendor
At all events, it is certain that Mar
